The Rationale Behind The 21-Day Healthy Beverage Challenge
Most of us drink plenty of beverages on a daily basis, be it a regular tea, coffee, fruit juices, sodas, energy drinks, milkshakes, etc.
While some of these beverages are healthy, a lot of them liked packaged fruit juices, sodas and other sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) are not.
Numerous studies have confirmed a direct link between SSBs and obesity in children and adolescents.
Fortunately, it is possible for us to control the kind of beverages we consume on a daily basis.
Rather going for the packed fruit juices, milkshakes, sodas, etc., we can indulge in a plethora of healthy teas, smoothies, vegetable juices, buttermilk, whole milk, etc.,
By controlling what we consume we can define our health parameters in the future by means of clean, healthy foods available easily.
The entire idea is to replace the bad with the good and hence this challenge came to be!
